v5.1.2

Features summary

Version 5.1.2 incorporates diverse functionalities to improve Q-flow’s user experience, such as the ability to “Remember user”, and simplified steps to start designing a process. On the other hand, the system is now able to store attachments in Azure Blob Storage.

General improvements

Remember user

A “Remember me” checkbox was added on the login screen of every site. This option allows remembering the session on the browser, so that you do not have to log in again after the browser is closed. This option is supported for Google and Microsoft login.

Attachment storage in Azure

The content of the system’s attachments is now stored in the cloud, by using Azure’s Blob Storage technology. Thanks to this change, inherent benefits of cloud storage are perceived. We can highlight the speed in accessing files and the management of the security of our data, since the service guarantees protection against malicious access and uses mechanisms such as redundancy to recover data in the case of any unforeseen problem.

Fixed errors

Work queue system views

The default action is changed to “Edit” when double-clicking on a work queue view, from the system views listing.

Error on empty decimal data with editable read only scope

An error is fixed that prevented responding to a task that has an empty decimal type application data with “Editable read only” scope.

Web BPM

Check out graph when creating a template

When creating a new template, the template itself as well as the version are opened and the graph will be checked out by default.

Allow creating a container package when creating a template

When creating a new template from a package, there is now an option to “Create process container subpackage”. If the option is selected, a subpackage will be created in the currently selected package (which will have the same name as the template), and the template will be created in that new subpackage.
